To get documentation for flags on hover (thanks to explainshell), run a explainshell server and update your VS Code settings:
"bashIde.explainshellEndpoint": "http://localhost:5000",
For security reasons, it defaults to "", which disables explainshell integration. When set, this extension will send requests to the endpoint and displays documentation for flags. We recommend using a local Docker image (see #180).
